What is the oldest age to crop a boxers ears?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ear mutilation is usually done around 9 to 11 weeks of age. Any later and the ears may not want to stand. You are trying to find that time when the puppy is old enough to handle the butchery and anesthesia well, but young enough that the cartilage is not set in their ears yet.

You can obtain a dual registration from CKC for your AKC registered Dog. AKC does not recognize CKC (Continental Kennel Club). Therefore your litter would need to be CKC registered. You can print out your applications at www.ckcusa.com

All dogs are dangerous if the owner doesn't properly take care of them. Generally speaking the larger they are the more dangerous.

Breeds in particular are not much of a contributing factor, very slight if any.

You could buy dog puppies from a kennel from about 200 to 300 dollars. Some kennels have prices that goes to a 1000 dollars. Now, you could get a good puppy from persons with only one pair in the home who could sell them cheaper. A real pitbull is a good dog no matter the price.

What is stronger a bluenose pitbull or a rednose pitbull?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They are both the same breed you idiot. They are just different coat colors. Besides, dog fighting isn't 'cool'.

Who cares!?! You should never have that first fight with your dog. It is cruel to the dog. Your dog should be obedience trained and well socialized if you care about it.

Would a razor edge pitbull be a good hunting dog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

short muscular mixed breed, selectively breed for personality traits such as loyalty, loving and calm temperament and physical traits of large muscular pitbull dogs.

Razors Edge is a blood line started by Dave Wilson in Virginia in the 1980's. The dogs "pitbulls" were selectively breed to be more of a bully companion dog rather than an athletic and agile pitbull. These dogs are very social for the most part and lack the more desirable conformation qualities that the true American Pitbull Terrier has. *For example; they do not conform to UKC show standards as they are short and compact with oversized heads. They lack the drive of a normal APBT as well. They may make an excellent pets, but care should be taken to select an ethical and quality breeder.

It should be noted that any dog classified as a "Pit Bull" may be illegal to have in many counties around the country. You should speak to your local animal control and make sure it is legal to own such a type of dog.

It should also be noted that many greedy breeders mix breeds for the physical traits only so they are not APBTs at all, and do not have the temperament of Wilson's dogs. Dave Wilson swears that the dogs are pure APBT and he selectively bred the traits (strong, short and muscular, with gentle, loyal temperament) with other's of the same build and temperament.

But many question the breed as pure APBT and believe the breed is mixed with English Bull Terries and/or other stocky build bullies. That is the reason they are not recognized as pure APBT by the top kennel clubs.

Though, Dave Wilson's breeds are very good quality, and he takes great pride in them, for the love of them, not for the money. But, many irresponsible breeders looking to fool people into believing they are getting a true Razor Edge, do mix them with other bully breeds, but neglect the temperament and this is why and how they can be dangerous to people, and cruel for the dogs/ These bad breeders are in it for the money, and charge large sums for them, over $2,000-$4000!! If they are more then 2g then you are being taken advantage of and they most likely are not true Razor Edge Bullies.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A red nose pit is just that, a pitbull with a red nose. The nose of any normal dog will most of the time, be black. A red nose pit, however, will have a "red" nose. Not like Rudolph red, or cherry red, but more of a tan color, and normally have a bit of red on his/her lip skin and under his/her chin.

How old does a red nose male pit have to be to breed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sexual maturity may come before the dog is quite a year old (depends on the individual), but the dog should not be bred until he is two years old and has passed basic health clearances (hips, eyes, etc.) relevant to the breed. This greatly betters your chances for healthy pups.

Can you get a copy of the papers for your pitbull?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you bought your dog from a reputable breeder who had papers on the bitch and sire, they should have given you papers stating the dog's parents' names which you would send to the United Kennel Club or/and the American Dog Breeders' Association with a fee in order to register your puppy with whatever name you choose. If your dog's parents aren't both registered, he cannot be either. In short, the answer to the question is - contact the person/organization you got your animal from and speak with them about registration papers.


Actually, the AKC does not recognize the "American Pitbull" as a specific breed. It does recognize the Staffordshire Bull Terrier--but that is a distinct breed. There are several "bully breeds" in the AKC, however this concept we have now of the "pitbull" is largely a name created by the public (and the press) which combines any and all dogs with the bull terrier characteristics. Well bred (by a responsible breeder) and well trained and socialized, these dogs make wonderful companions, but are not recommended for the first time dog owner as they require experience and sound leadership--but not brutality. They are among the most intelligent, sensitive and loyal of companions, but because they are such a powerful group of dogs, the owners are obligated to acquire, socialize and train them responsibly.

Are pitbulls the strongest dog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Jaw strength (the leading mark of strength in a dog) varies from individual to individual, but Rottweilers have been found to have one of the strongest bites. There are other breeds that rank in the same area, but it is obvious that "pit bulls" do not always have the best bite.
